About

Take Dictation is a native macOS dictation app for Apple silicon Macs running macOS 26 or later. It converts spoken English into text in the text field of the app you are using, including Mail, Notes and Messages. Recognition and text cleanup run locally on the Mac, with no audio or transcript upload required. Users can start and stop dictation with a keyboard shortcut, choose microphone and dictation settings, and apply fixed cleanup rules to remove filler words and add punctuation without rewriting the message with a chatbot. The app is intended for Mac users who want to compose replies, notes and other short or long text by speaking. It includes a 14-day trial and is sold for a one-time household license; an account and recurring subscription are not required.

About

Yap is private, on-device voice dictation for Apple Silicon Macs and Windows 10 and 11 PCs. Press a keyboard shortcut in any app, speak, and Yap types clean text at your cursor, in email, documents, notes or chat. Speech recognition and cleanup run on your PC itself: audio is never uploaded, and dictation works without a connection (setup and periodic license checks need internet). On Windows, hold Ctrl + Win in any app, speak and release; speech is recognized on your PC by NVIDIA Parakeet in 25 languages and never uploaded. Yap detects the spoken language automatically and keeps a local history of past dictations. USD 6.90 a month or USD 69 a year, with a 14-day free trial (card required). Windows, hold Ctrl + Win in any app,
